      Just defeated my first fort last night!

      So, once you take the fort, are there any benefits that come from it being "your" fort?

        It reveals part of the map like View Points do. It also makes that section of the ocean safe to travel.

          go to "Ships in progress"
          click on a friend (they will be light blue)
          click on details
          click on speed up/escort/heal

          I'm using it on my Nexus 7 (dumped the iPad for this and like it way better)

            another tip is send almost every dang ship you take over to your Fleet. Unless you're desperate to heal, send it to your fleet to salvage if you can't use it.

              Sorry if this is a dumb question but is there another way to repair your ships right after a battle?

One on the best early game upgrades is the cargo upgrades to transport more cargo and harpoon boat upgrades to hunt whales.

                Lastly when Kenway's fleet opens up to you, PLEASE do the missions. I make close to 30,000R a day running those missions through the app on my iphone. If you need a boost, add us a friends and we can boost you to speed up the missions for you as well.

                    It's based on how many gems you have. The more battles you win the more gems you have to heal ships and unlock more ports. Always try to have gems to spend

                      For those of you who were asking for Black Island DLC, ACIV just dropped the new dlc pack with all the pre-order bonuses for 7 bucks. It's free for those with the season pass however and since Freedom cry is ridiculous in how good it is, I'd say get the season pass and call it a day.

                          Does the new DLC pack include, Mystery Island mission (Amazon pre-order bonus), Sacrifice Island mission (Walmart pre-order bonus)?

                            I another thing the other night: I was somewhere and noticed that I could repair/upgrade/build some shops or whatever on the docks. Is this similar to the "economy" in past AC games? Where you would build shops and merchants, which would provide you with a steady income.

                              No income and this is only on one island in this game. It's like an hq for pirates no danger. You still have to buy but there are 2 benefits you can hire pirztes and the group of dancers for free anywhere when you open those two shops there

                                Cool, thanks.

                                Would have been cool if you could build things and improve them at different locations on the map to gain some steady income, but I suppose that's what the fleet is for.

                                I feel like I've been playing this game a pretty long time already, and I think I'm just starting to approach having half the map unlocked! Enjoying the hell out of it.
